“All the conditions are in place for the final stage of defeating the Islamic State in Syria.Only parts of the eastern cities of Raqqa and Deir-es-Zor remain under the control of the IS, and both cities will fall before the end of the year.

All that remains to do is reconquer the big enclave around Idlib in northwestern Syria that is ruled by the al-Qaeda affiliate that used to be known as the Jabhat al-Nusra.

The operation to destroy the fighters of the IS and Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist groups on Syrian territory will continue until their complete and guaranteed destruction.”
